Springville was decidedly stirred ur yesterday morning over the report of a hold up which oecured on Tn' day night between 10 and 11 o"el..otk The affair took place on State street near John S.

Kitleld. Marcellus Chase, Martin Diamond and Thomas Fuller, who were the victims of the hold-up. The story fif the affair as these g-ntleiueti tell1 It, is about as follows: I They weregoiriK down the street on ' their way home about half-past ten in the evening, and as they reached John Boyer's corner a man stepped j nut in front of them and leveling a pistol in Fi field's face ordered him to i turn oyer his money.

FitJeld was ordered or-dered to go on and the other gentle men were ordered to turn over-their wealth and move on, which thev did, nwelling the robber's pile to ah ut 2 00. After they got down the street a little war they held a conference and two of them, Fuller and Chase, were positive that they recognized in the high-wayman. Mr. Ciark. It was decided to go and get Marshal Gammeli and go to Mr. Clark's house and see if their suspicions were, cor- rect. This was done, and Mr. Ciark j was found at home.

Yesterday morning the gentlemen decided to swear out a complaint against Clark, and County Attorney Evans and Sheriff Storrs were sent for and arrived in town yesterday afternoon. After hearing the story of the victim of the hold up and interviewing in-terviewing Mr. Clark, the county attorney decided that a hearing was pecessary, and he had Mr. Clark placed under t50i- bond for his ap pearance before Justice Packard next Monday at 10 o'clock f-r his pre-lininary pre-lininary hearing, Mr. Clark states that he can prove by the evidence of two witnesses who were with hitn just a minute or two before the hold up that it w is only intended in-tended as a joKe and not. for the purpose of robbery. So far as is known, Clark h i l m motive for the act. He h is b"en, a-abiy, a-abiy, rather wild and mischievous like dozens or others of this city's boys, hut bis life has never indicated that he was a vicious character. It is said that on the evening referred to he was intoxicated, and badly mixed in his ideas of fun. He has a wife undone child. The City Fathers met in a special session Monday evening, for the purpose pur-pose of heating the report of the Irrigation Committee in regard to purchase of the Mapletou Canal, Ilesei voir & In igat icn Co's. At roll call all were in their accustomed places except Reynolds. A messenger was sent after him and returned with that gentleman a few minutes latter. Ileynolds'ga ve as reason for his absence that he was not aware that the council held a session that evening. The committee reported that they had met with the officers and some of the stock, holders at a meeting held at Mapleton, and that they had met the proposition of the company with a counter proposition, offering them one-half of the amount asked, which was CG90.50. Arter a good deal of discussion dis-cussion the company had agreed to accept, if the city would also pay a bill of 125 for attorney fees, a recent obligation of the company. The committee com-mittee agreed to this, and recomend-ed recomend-ed to the cooncil that the purchase be made at that fljure. ihe motion to accept the report brought up quite a lengihy discussion in which all the-ineinbers of the council coun-cil aired their opinions of the matter. All of them were in favor of accepting accept-ing the report of the committee and purchasing the property, with the exception of Councilman Reynolds, who hotly opposed the proposition of levying a tax to buy the property. He thought it was not just or right to tax oid water claimants to build reservoirs for Mapleton, hut when it came to a vote he voted with the rest of the council, making the vote unanimous. This practically means that Springville city will purchase the interest of the Mapleton Canal. Reservoir & Irrigation Company for $715.50.

Recent investigation shows that the stores are largely stocked with baking powders which contain alum, the injurious ingredient which the Iowa and Minnesota State Boards of Health have so strongly condemned.

Herald Corres-pmidence) Corres-pmidence) The divorce case of Maude Sanford vs. Cyrus G. Sand ford came on for trial this afternoon in the Fourth district court. The case has created considerable comment in Springville, the native town of both parties, on account of their social standing. The plaintiff alleges that since her marriage with defendant in 1894 he has treated her in a cruel and inhuman manner, causing her great mental and bodily pain; that soon after the marriage he began to manifest mani-fest a coolness and lack of attention toward her, and on occasions became violent and ugly, calling her vile names and making h2r life miserable aud unendurable. She charges that on the night of June 12, 1898, he forced her out into the cold night aud made her remain there uutil . midnight, mid-night, and again on June 22, 1898, be brutally assaulted her and struck her in the face with bis (1st. making her flesh black, and that the. bruise thus iuflicted remained with her for many days, causing her great hu mi ration and shame. .
